And The Grass Won't Pay No Mind Neil Diamond

[quatloosthx1138]

This original studio version is my favorite of all the versions that Neil Diamind and others have done. Thank you very much for posting it. :)

Beautiful Neil Diamond! His early period is his best! Neil's quite the poet to boot! He's touched so many lives through the years!

Bravo, Neil!

[ChihuahuaboyDH]

Child, touch my soul with your cries, and the music will know what we found. I'll hear a hundred goodbyes, but today I hear only one sound, and the moment we're living is now, now now now now now. Young bird flying, and the soft wind blowin' cools the sweat inside my palms. Close my eyes and hear the flowers growing, as you lay sleeping in my arms. And the time will be our time, and the grass won't pay no mind. No the grass won't pay no mind.

[1953moe]

@ChihuahuaboyDH nice, huh?

[ChihuahuaboyDH]

Listen easy, you can hear God calling, walking barefoot by a stream. Come unto me, your hair softly falling on my face as in a dream. And the time will be our time, and the grass won't pay no mind. Saying nothing, lying where the sun is, baking down upon our sighs. My lips touch you with their soft wet kisses, your hands gentle in reply. And the time will be our time, and the grass won't pay no mind.

[ChihuahuaboyDH]

Of all of Neil Diamond's songs, this is the song that really stirs up a lot of emotions, both happy & sad. One of the greats of the Neil Diamond canon!

Bravo, Neil!

I agree with some comments that Elvis' version better. But everyone to their own.

[paulreno1]

I love Elvis's version of the song. This is good but Elvis just seems to take it up a notch. Always liked this song.

[jnfan2011]

Love vintage Neil ! <3!

[gabysuguitarra]

i love this song

[MAGICO240]

Elvis version is just from another world.

[BBQFanNo1]

Something about the Latin Guitar and the Orchestra in the background has so much soul to this version of the song.

[BBQFanNo1]

Elvis Presley is my favorite singer but Neil Diamond equals his version of this song. I don't know why people think Mark Lindsey's version is the best I don't like it as much as the versions by Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley.

[cidspimms]

Perfection! 

[hownos]

makes me think of a certain girl a long time ago ( who is not my wife)

[hanafri8]

Beautiful love song!

[MrSpringtime22]

@hanafri8

i agree. just started a neil diamond gig

[lurch321]

This album cover was most certainly the inspiration for the "Puffy Shirt" episode of Seinfeld.

[borders4ever]

@926Mitchel ........Have you listened the the Hot August Night version, Neil sings this with much more emotion and I get the feeling it is one of the lovliest love songs, and sexiest songs I have ever heard. You rock Neil, and I can't wait for your concert in March.2011.

[computeach1]

@borders4ever Absolutely... I knew that version before this one. The one from HAN is a musical orgasm.

[EenterE]

Awesome !!

[paladonperry]

This is such a great song written by Neil Diamond I enjoyed this song Thumbs up and have a great day regards from Paladon.

[Isi2O12]

Thank you Neil for this musical jewel. May this song be our OMEN for the New Year

[cbgflygirl]

I think that I like the Elvis Presley version a bit better.

[Leroyfis]

@cbgflygirl yeah me too but this version is also good!

[BBQFanNo1]

Whenever I get angry went after hearing this song it just melts my heart.

[DougM63]

genious....why the hell didnt i realize that earlier in life......

[Isi2O12]

...and the time will be our time.....one of the most beautiful love-songs ever written...thanks Neil for giving us such a precious gift.....isi

[comsessive09]

love this track! one of my favourites.ND always paints pictures in my mind and this song...well...lets just say they're some pictures!

[fillmore593]

Great song, great singer, great time!

[depptown]

sexiest man alive in his prime

[2rjswan]

Sincerity but with an edge...Mark Lindsay and Eivis were good but this is the best version..

[MOLLYryaiMOON]

He's all dressed as a preacher! Ooh, he's so handsome *melt melt*!

[minnecolts]

@MOLLYryaiMOON that's not a preacher outfit :) that's a style of shirt worn in the 70s that had a pleated chest and puffy long sleeves - quite gallant! :)

[ravaco]

I`m Sonora Mexico always I like Neil Diamond Music since 1972 (i`m 1958 model)

[fabrosin]

I love Neil Diamond songs all the times...!

[triunp]

the '72 Hot August Night version....might be one of the most beautiful love songs ever made....so peaceful...a dreamer

[iheartjokes]

Always the man.

[lwwclwy51]

Elvis did a good job with this song, but Neil put more heart in it.

[racyweb]

Probably because he wrote it :-DD

[lwwclwy51]

You have a good point there, racyweb! =)

[racyweb]

Lol. It's a gorgeous song, so romantic :-DD

[lwwclwy51]

I agree!

[rokkitride]

Neil and Elvis' versions of this song are both incomperable.........I've always admired them both all my life and I couldn't choose one above the other....just enjoy and appreciate them both......

[windstruckladyc]

I listened to the Elvis version.. this one wins hands down,,, the diamond is brilliant.. no one can compare

[marniefshallers]

I wish I could find the "Hot August Night" rendition. It's absolutely beautiful. Much better live.

[ELVISFREE1977]

ELVIS did this song this song also..here on youtube..

[musicenvy1]

Neil Diamond is a genius and a gift. He has written so many wonderful songs. The music he has written is about his life/experiences and relates to so many of our lives.

[1953pops]
